COMBINATION WALKING-STICK AND CHAIR.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN J. SHEEHAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Everett, R. F. D. No. 1, in the county of Snohomish and State of l/Vashington, have invented a certain new and useful Combination alking-Stick and Chair, of which the following is such a full, clear, and exact description as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use my said invention.

My invention relates to the construction of a walking stick that may be readily converted into a chair or seat.

The purposes of my invention are to provide a device which when the parts are compactly arranged will be in the form of a walking stick and when the parts are differently arranged will form a chair, and to provide simple means for so connecting the parts that they may be quickly arranged in the different forms necessary for the uses mentioned.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is an elevation of the device when put together as a walking stick. Fig. 2 is a perspective view when set up as a chair. Fig. 3 is a combined elevation View showing how the leg and arm C and B of the walking stick are constructed also how the seat is attached to the legs. Fig. 4: represents a portion of one of the legs showing the slot wherein is placed the end of the seat. Figs. 5 and 6 represent a section on the dotted lines on and a respectively of Fig. 1. Fig. 7 represents a view showing a modified form of attaching the seat to the chair.

The same letters refer to the same parts throughout the difierent figures.

A in Fig l is the handle and barrel of the walking stick. It constitutes one of the legs and arms of the chair and is formed in two parts, the sections being joined or screwed together at 0. The barrel of A is made of tubed metal, the handle being of wood or other suitable material.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed November 22, 1909.

Patented Mar. 15, 1910.

Serial No. 529,453.

Inside of A are the sections B and C formed of the same material as A. They constitute the other leg and arm of the chair. The lower end of B as shown in Fig. 3 is enlarged forming a shoulder t into which the section 0 fits. It is also furnished with a hinge it, which lets the top part of B fall down, forming an arm of the chair B and C and when not in use forming part of the chair is placed inside the barrel of A as shown in Fig. 1. Into the bottom of the legs of the chair is forced a small circular piece of steel as shown at P.

The seat D is formed of netting and is attached to the legs as shown at S in Fig. 3. Across the center of D is a flexible rod K which keeps the strands of the netting apart and to which they are fastened. The end of the netting is fastened to a ring 9, which passes through a link Z with an enlarged end. Said link slides down slot 8 Fig. 4, and is held in place by the enlarged end of said link. D when not used as a seat is placed inside the section 0 as shown in Fi 1.

FVhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is- A walking stick provided with a handle, which forms an arm to the chair and a barrel which forms one of the legs of said chair, together with two sections B and C, joined end to end thereby forming the other leg and arm of said chair, and having a seat member made of netting with a flexible rod to keep the netting spread apart, and attached to each leg by means of a ring and link, the link passing down a slot in the leg, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this application in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
